ALA will reimburse the charges expended on childcare in the amount of $25 per day, per child to a maximum of $50 per day, family to any fully registered parent for each day of the Midwinter Meeting week, January 19-22, 2007. This covers only childcare in the parent’s hotel room or other residence in the conference city (Seattle) and does not include charges for children’s food and transportation or gratuities and transportation for the sitter.

ALA will not reimburse childcare expenses to delegates who live within the Seattle area that would be paid to the regular provider whether the parent was attending the Midwinter Meeting or not. Reimbursement forms will be available at the ALA Registration Desk and must be signed by the individual performing the childcare services and presented by the parent to the Registration Desk Manager by Monday, January 22, 2007.

Please note: Strollers are permitted on the exhibit floor, but children must remain seated in them at all times. Unescorted children are not permitted on the exhibit floor.
